Avoiding Fees

Our Verdict

Pretty good sign up bonus if it isn’t a hard pull and you live near a branch. No real requirements to get the bonus or avoid the monthly fees is what makes it a good deal. If you have any experiences with this bonus, please share them in the comments below. You can view the bank bonuses we recommend here.

I went to the branch on Saturday and signed up. The lady I talked to said it would be a soft pull as long as you don’t signup for the overdraft. I deposited $100 cash and waiting now. You do have to setup a savings account as well.
